David Accam was the central figure in the buildup to Solignac’s goal. Bastian Schweinsteiger lofted a pass over Atlanta’s backline in the 29th minute, springing Accam. The Ghanaian speedster raced toward goal, circled Atlanta goalkeeper Alec Kann, slipped, and then cut back before centering a pass to Solignac for the easy finish. The goal was Solignac’s third of the season, while Accam notched his fifth assist.

Chicago’s six-game winning streak at home is their longest in MLS regular season play since 2012.
